5% Initiative: Access to Healthcare for Vulnerable Populations

The 5% Initiative has launched a call for proposals to improve access to high-quality health services for vulnerable populations.

This call for proposals has been launched with a view to selecting projects that complement GF grants aimed at improving access for the most vulnerable populations to high-quality healthcare, based on strategies that are appropriate and integrated into local communities.

Access to healthcare is defined here as access to information, prevention and treatment.

Local organizations in eligible countries can submit a project as prime applicant.

International Organizations may participate as technical support providers but may not be prime applicants nor receiving funding from the 5% Initiative. This provision does not apply to Regional Organizations.

For the present call for proposals, each organization may apply only once as prime applicant (lead organization). However, an organization may be part of more than one project as partner.

A partnership approach means that the prime applicant involves the partners in the design of the project and that the partners have responsibilities in the implementation of the project, with the management of funds linked to activities.
